It shouldn’t, but adjusting the MBR is always dangerous. Cloning the drive first is the safest plan.

Does this make you lose all the data on the hard drive, thus rendering it unrecoverable.
(I am a beginner so be kind!)

I have a problem with my PC.
1. I got a virus on my pc.
2. I had to reboot pc and start it in safe mode
3. cleaned up the virus with Norton found 5 trojan type virus
4. Used Malware and found 85 files
5. cleaned PC with Norton and Malware
6. rebooted pc and i am now no longer can log in to pc
7. try to recover with re-installation cd but once I log in as administrator it takes me to C:winnt32 (command prompt)
8. Why the recovery CD did not continue fixing the OS?
